How They Improved the Layout of a 2-Room Apartment for a Family with a Child
Designers came up with a way to set aside space for a full-size hallway and kitchen-living room. There's now more than enough storage space here
This apartment is home to a family with a child. The original layout didn't suit their needs, so the team turned to designers at El Trento Design & Interior. They started with the hallway and then adjusted the living spaces. Take a look at how it was done.

Separated the Kitchen from the Corridor and Expanded It
The initial layout had the kitchen in the corridor, so they decided to separate it with partitions. To create a living room area, the space was slightly expanded. Although there are no windows here, natural light penetrates from the bedroom through a glass partition.
Adjusted the Bedroom Layout
When the kitchen-living room area was increased, part of the bedroom had to be sacrificed. So, the space was slightly adjusted by reducing the children's room. The bedroom became almost a perfect square.
Expanded the Children's Room
The children's room became the largest: there was space for a play area and a workspace, as well as a large bunk bed.
Merged the Bathroom
As the children's room had to be expanded, the bathroom area was significantly reduced. It had to be merged—this isn't the best option for a family, but it made room for a full bathtub and a washing machine.
Made a Closet in the Hallway
A portion of the hallway was dedicated to a closed-off wardrobe. All outerwear is stored here.
